Greetings! On this amazing, 56 degree sunny day here in NC, we are busy packing, getting things ready to head out tomorrow, and wondering why on earth people voluntarily live in places as cold as Rochester, Minnesota. High tomorrow: 5 degrees. Tuesday? 3 degrees. Wednesday? 4 degrees. Low each night between MINUS 12 - 15. Astonishing. Simply hard to fathom for folks like us. I know people live there and do well for their whole lives; the question is WHY? Maybe they don't know about better weather? Dunno.
Anyhow, packing is thankfully keeping our minds off the upcoming Steelers triumph (please, please, please...) over the team from a similarly cold place whom shall remain nameless. Nervous, nervous! All us Clarks are fully decked out in our Steelers jerseys, shirts, hats, etc. Terrible towels are ready to fly. Voices are rested, ready for the yelling and screaming. Food is ready for consumption. Hopefully, they'll give us great memories and moments to think about as we dwell in the land of airports all day tomorrow!
Thank you all for your love and prayers. No testing tomorrow (other than patience as we travel), but everything starts up bright and early Tuesday morning. Dee Dee will start fasting for that first round of testing beginning tomorrow evening. Basically, every day she has tests done that make her sick, she recovers enough to feel like eating anything around dinner time, and has to start fasting again for the next day by about 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. In the past, while she was in a test or scan, I would run across the street to grab a sandwich from Jimmy John's (first place I encountered them; glad there's one in Cary now!). Given the temperature, I am going to have to pretty stinking hungry to just "run across the street" to JJ's!
Take care everybody! Root for the Black and Gold, and I'll post later.
Tony

Praying for you guys as you make this trip to the frozen tundra! Love you much!
Samara is a TRUE Steeler fan !! But I couldn't see her black and gold fingernails in the picture.
I hope between your family and Randy's family you all can pull the Steelers through for another win.
You know my heart and prayers are with you and Dee Dee this week. I hate that Dee Dee has to go through these tests, but I hate the reason why she has to even more. Please call me and let me know how she is doing. As much as you hate the cold weather, I can't imagine you in -12 degree weather. I think I would use a lot of room service and delivery places.
Love you all..... Mom
Lord Jesus sustain and renew Dee Dee throughout her procedures! Help her continue to fight the good fight. Allow Tony and Dee Dee to shine brightly as an example to others of what it is to live the Christ-like life even in difficult times.
With love,
Cindy
